Paul Reed Smith Modern Eagle V - Wood Library - Charcoal Blue Burst with Hard Shell Case

The Paul Reed Smith Modern Eagle V - Wood Library - Charcoal Blue Burst: A Rare Fusion of Precision, Power, and Beauty

Premium Wood Library Construction with Exquisite Tonewoods

Crafted as part of PRS's exclusive Wood Library collection, this Modern Eagle V showcases a stunning Charcoal Blue Burst satin finish over a 10-top flame maple top and African mahogany body. The dramatic figuring of the maple top contrasts beautifully with the smoky, translucent hues of the burst, while the African mahogany back adds warmth and depth to the tone. This guitar is designed with a keen eye for both visual and tonal detail, bringing the best of PRS's craftsmanship to a premium instrument built for serious players.

Brazilian Rosewood Neck Appointments for Unmatched Feel and Tone

The neck of this Modern Eagle V is carved from genuine mahogany and capped with a Brazilian rosewood fretboard and headstock veneer—both sourced from PRS's prized domestic stock. The 25" scale length and Pattern neck carve offer a familiar yet luxurious feel, and the fretboard is adorned with signature J-Bird inlays featuring sparkle abalone outlines and mother-of-pearl centers. A 10" radius and PS Re-Fret fretwire ensure smooth playability across all 22 frets.

Cutting-Edge PRS Electronics for Versatile Sonic Exploration

This model is equipped with a sophisticated electronics package: a set of TCI pickups (small 408-style) in the neck and bridge positions, plus a narrow MEV single-coil in the middle. Control comes via volume and tone knobs, a 5-way blade switch, and three mini-toggle switches that open up a vast range of tonal options. Whether you're chasing crystal-clear cleans, thick humbucking warmth, or single-coil sparkle, this guitar puts it all at your fingertips.

Smoked Black Hardware and Gen-3 Tremolo for Stable Performance

The Modern Eagle V features a PRS Gen-3 tremolo bridge and Phase 3.2 locking tuners, all finished in smoked black for a sleek, modern look. The Gen-3 tremolo is designed for smooth vibrato action and tuning stability, thanks to its knife-edge pivot and electroless nickel screws. Combined with the wide/tall bone nut and PRS locking tuners with black wing buttons, this hardware setup ensures reliability and style, even in demanding live or studio environments.

Exclusive Case and Final Touches

Every detail of this guitar speaks to its high-end pedigree, from the black anodized truss rod cover etched with "Modern Eagle V" to the black paisley PRS hard shell case it comes in. This instrument was built with precision in mind and finished with the kind of care that only comes from PRS's Wood Library program. It’s a true collector's piece that’s equally ready to take center stage.
